The crazy design and autoplay music reminds me of the various Pokémon fan sites I used to visit back around 2002 when I first got Internet at home.
My oh my how web design has changed dramatically over the past 14+ years since I first started using the Internet regularly.
Additionally, the card images on the Cards page coming in with a reverse "dissolve" is a bit of a throwback to when dial-up connections were the norm for household Internet access. (I ought to know since I was on dial-up at home for a whopping 11 years.)

That site is beautiful I'm not sure what you mean.
Actually though, that's really clever of them. Way to go ^__^

They should've used Comic Sans, it was common font on bad 90s websites.

This probably merits some mention: on their "Animation" page they have the Pokemon: The First Movie streaming.

That's actually kind of funny. I recall that Pizza Hut still has their original website up and about somewhere, and you can still order from it. What a blast from the past, huh?
